Equinux today introduced The Tube 2.0, the second generation of its TV software for the Mac. The big news with this release is the addition of a feature called TubeTalk. With TubeTalk, TV viewers can chat with one another about the current program or even follow other users as they channel surf with BuddySurfing. In addition, The Tube 2.0 simplifies the overall recording process and adds a new list of features to The Tube.

Registered users can immediately download The Tube 2.0 for free from the Equinux Website or by using the update function in The Tube. A full version of The Tube software can be purchased in the Equinux Online Store for € 19.95 , or The Tube can be purchased with the TubeStick DVB-T (DTT) USB receiver for € 39.95. It would be so cool if they brought an ATSC version of this bundle over to the US, don't you think?
